You fill up your disk with huge executables and spend all of your memory and cycles drawing pseudo-3D art-deco borders around every linear displayed feature. How a button drawn this way is supposed to be easier to click on than one drawn with normal lines (a la Xaw) is beyond me. I also don't see how something like an xbiff is easier to use when its screen area is doubled by the abovementioned borders. -- ======================================================================8--<
